True beer aficionados know beer is food. So when hops devotee Michael Roper added a dining room onto the back of his beloved tavern, swillers thrilled to sop their suds with delectable specialties such as Belgian-style mussels steamed in white ale with herbs, duck confit crepes, and smoked pork belly with creamy white beans. Arrive early to avoid waiting in the bar for a table. But don't bring the kids; Roper is adamant that only those of legal drinking age can eat here.
